The key steps in the synthesis of clavulactone are formation of an enantiopure cyclopentane precursor by epoxide rearrangement and intramolecular carbonyl–ene reaction, construction of the 3,4‐dihydro‐2 H ‐pyran ring by intermolecular hetero‐Diels–Alder reaction, closure of the eleven‐membered ring, and finally generation of the lactone functionality by chemoselective allylic C(sp 3 )H oxidation.
